Disappointed with the property, location, weather, and lack of communication.

The place looks nice in the pictures, but the reality was completely different.Ants were everywhere- i have a video that i can share , the pull-out couch was extremely uncomfortable, impossible to sleep on it and water was splashing directly onto the balcony.On our last night, there were road closures and an expected mudslide. When we called the emergency line, they advised us to leave the area immediately if we had a flight to catch at LAX the next day. We had to gather our belongings quickly and evacuate. I reached out to the owner for guidance but never received a response.If you're dreaming of a stay in Malibu, you may want to think twice before booking this place.

Beautiful view!

Absolutely gorgeous location with an amazing view right on the beach. Morning sunrise was stunning. The property was all we needed and just sitting on the porch with the sound of the waves was so relaxing. The pier was a great place to eat and just down the road were other great places. It was a bit hard to find at night but the traffic was usually light.

Wonderful Vacation in Malibu

These properties on Carbon Beach are truly secret gems. Malibu really is one of favorite places and to be able to stay in a place and literally wake up on the beach hearing the waves all day and night is priceless. The staff is responsive and the units are very cute and clean and I cannot stress enough how wonderful the location is. You have the cross creek shops less than a mile away , the pier, Nobu,etc. You’re also far enough east to venture into Santa Monica pretty easily if you want to. I have stayed in several of these units , and plan on continuing to return. We spent my birthday and Thanksgiving there this time and it was magical.

Upstairs Neighbors

The property was very nice, great location, clean, and felt safe. However, the neighbors upstairs either had a very large dog running and jumping around or an adult was moving and stomping/running around all hours of the night making sleep difficult. (I know this is not the fault of the VRBO). But for the price I/we were hoping for a little bit more "quiet" at night.

Location, location, location

If you’re looking for an oceanfront vacation, this is the place for you. If the ocean was any closer you’d need a bathing suit to eat breakfast. This cozy apartment is ideal for two. It’s an old building but well maintained. It’s located right on the Pacific Coast Highway but road noise was not an issue. The only noise is the sound of the Pacific Ocean.

Best location!

Coming to Malibu for a few days of rest and relaxation required a house that was close to the beach. This property checked all the boxes. It was perfectly sized for my husband and I, it had everything we needed so we didn't have to pack a lot of extra stuff and the location couldn't have gotten any better! It was easy to find, close to restaurants and attractions, either a short walk or short drive. The owner and caretaker were wonderful, I highly recommend this rental!

Angel

Angel was on site to set us up with all we needed. He was a tremendous help during our whole stay and went above and beyond for us. The condo its self was ok. Had a gas leak issue, which Angel fixed immediately. If I stay in this complex again I may stay in a different condo, but my decision to pick this complex again will be because of Angel and how wonderful he is.
